We have been having beautiful weather and I have taken time away from the computer
to enjoy more time in the garden and visiting with friends. I thought you might like to
see what's blooming in my garden so far this summer.
"Ella" is new to me this summer and I think she is quite beautiful...
This rose has been with me for many years. The apricot color varies with every stage of it's
blooming and it is always a surprise...
The final bloom is a softer hue and the size of a saucer...
Eternal Sunshine is always bright and sunny. You almost have to wear sunglasses when this
rose is blooming, even on a cloudy day...
This is the show-off rose. Absolutely loves to be dramatic...definitely not a shrinking violet....
I promise I'm getting to the very feminine pink roses!
The sage is also in full bloom which the bumble bees and hummingbirds love and all the flowers
benefit from that...
Even the cactus and all the succulents are in bloom...
Okay, back to the roses...
It looks like a little critter has landed on this old beauty...
Ahh, the lovely English roses....
Eglantyne is a soft and lovely pink rose...
Strawberry Hill is a bit brighter pink and also very beautiful...
I will save my other flowers for a future post. Right now I am looking forward to visiting all of your
lovely blogs over the next few days.
I hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend.

ReplyDeleteThe last one looks so much like a peony!!!
You have such a robust and healthy garden, boy is it ever impressive.
GORGEOUS POST!
Stunning and gorgeous. I cannot grow roses in our humidity except for the knockouts which is kind of like cheating. Your weather and skill makes for beautiful roses. Do show me more please. hugs, olive

ReplyDeleteYour Eglantyne rose is stunning, I paint huge canvases of roses, you might want to look at them, if you got my blog and look at my "page" headed "my paintings" you can see them. I specialise in only flowers.
ReplyDeleteLooking at these roses has made me realise I must finish my work in progress which I haven't touched for ages as my mum sadly is terminally ill and moved in with me and my artistic side is just keeping my blog together, no painting at all.
Thank you for sharing these, I am certainly inspired to try painting again.

Oh how beautiful! I just opened my email to your comment and clicked on your blog link. Thank you for sharing these gorgeous roses with us. I don't have any roses in my gardens. I think I should have at least one don't you? You have a lovely variety and I imagine the smell is wonderful. Thank you for visiting and strolling around my gardens. Have a lovely day! Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteSusan your roses are gorgeous! I love your orange and yellow blooms. My only rose bush was full and ready to bloom then I went outside one morning to find it broken to bits and all the flowers gone...DEER! I'll try again.

ReplyDeleteRoses are my absolutely favorite flower and my, you have some gorgeous ones!! Thank you for sharing your lovely blooms with us!
ReplyDeleteFabulous roses, our wet weather hasn't been too kind to our blooms her in the UK but seeing these wonderful examples makes up for it.
ReplyDeletePaul
Oh my word...your garden of blooms are SOOOO gorgeous!!! Can you come over here and help me plant some roses to my ever drab front and back yard?!?! lol Gosh, I wish I could plant something and not have it die on me!!! :( I suppose I have to get used to the valley weather! When I lived near Mar Vista, the weather was perfect!!! But where I am, things tend to dry up a bit faster if I don't water them daily!!! And I tend to forget! lol Anyway, thank you for the constant garden inspiration. :) Take care and have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jessie
